Storage vMotion Stuck at 32% when migrating from One Vplex to Other
Recently I faced an issue where we were able to Storage vMotion from VPLEX to VMAX but not from VPLEX 1 to VPLEX 2. After some troubleshooting we found out that it was the VAAI that was giving issues and had to disable below parameters for the datamover.
DataMover.HardwareAcceleratedMove
DataMover.HardwareAcceleratedInit
The reason for this was VAAI incompatibility of the source VPLEX . Both the above can be disabled by selecting the host –>Configuration –> Advanced Settings (Software)> DataMover. Change both parameters to 0 to disable.
Below is the excerpt from VMware KB about VAAI
